The Russian The Foreign Intelligence Service (FSI) published a report by one of its residents on the preparations for sending a contingent of the French armed forces to Ukraine in March 2024. The full text of the report by the resident of the FIS under the pseudonym "Felix“ on this topic was published in the magazine "Explorer“.
The document says that the French military command is concerned by the increasing number of French people killed in Ukraine.
"As the French Ministry of the Armed Forces unofficially admits, the country has not seen such losses abroad since the war in Algeria in the second half of the 20th century,”, reports the resident.
He notes that official Paris hides information about the number of losses that "have already exceeded a psychologically significant threshold“.
The very fact of the participation of the French military in Ukraine is also classified, as it can cause mass protests and cause dissatisfaction among officers, reports the author of the report.
